Starting t-blog to share our reno journey.

Start sourcing for a resale end of last year.

After viewing for 10+ units, we finally settled for 3room flat at AMK.

Liked it because it's "Upgraded", there's an additional utility room behind.

Here's the original layout

After reading tons of t-blog here, we decided to just engage a contractor for our renovation.

We have a basic idea what we want, not much money left to engage an ID.

We asked for quotes from 3 famous contractors from this forum, Yeak, Roy, Alan.

All came back with about the same price --- 30k!

I guess that's the market price for a typical renovation for a 3room flat from a contractor.

In the end we choosed Alan because his quote seems the most complete.

Hi welcome to Club Alanists and the 3-roomers! Haha yesterday the tiler also proposed to us to use the wood tiles for our stairs. 'Wooden' stairs looks awesome right?

Is your tiler uncle with a moustache?

Yes Uncle Ah Meng, nice guy and gave tips here and there which is very appreciated!
